Should work.

[okidedrak]

I dont like shoulds or maybes, it has to be a fact. I dont have time to waste in this matter.

I've seen a 2.8 and 3.1 starter side by side and looked like the 3.1 starter beside smaller solenoid has a shorter nose. I need to know for sure that even so it will still work.

if you dont want any trouble, just use one off another 2.8.

Why the hell post here if you don't want maybes? If you're only interested in the facts, go look up part numbers, instead of shooting off at the mouth like an arrogant prick.

I think that the cutlass that the parent of this thread owns is pretty cool!

I couldn't post this earlier but it's true the 3.1 starter works on the 2.8.

Tried tested and true. Used one from a 94 but many other years are the same.

 

GP1138, you'r a kid and a big jerk so I'll just ignore you

Everyone else I'm sorry if i rubbed you the wrong way, its just that i dont have time for reading thr same information written in a million different ways. I rarely ask something it's because I've been playing with W-bodies for too long, mostly with info from Shawn from before he ever had this forum. There is little i dont know about these cars now or so it's proved so far.

Don't worry about okidokie's attitude. He's harmless.

Hey, I just pointed out the same thing Davis pointed out earlier in this thread. I'm usually not a jerk, but if you're a jerk, I'll call you out on it.

[Guest TurboSedan]

haha i remember "okidokie" from wayyyyyy back before the W-body forum started. for the life of me i can't remember his old screen name though....

[okidedrak]

I dont remember ever having other nickname...

 

 

...and no I'm not really harmless cause I can smoke y'alls asses to dust

Yet you ask if the starters are the same?

 

 

 

[okidedrak]
